Wisconsin has hired Bobby April III as outside linebackers coach. April III most recently coached linebackers for the Buffalo Bills in 2016. He held the same post with the New York Jets and last coached in college at Nicholls State in 2010. April's father, Bobby, coached Badgers defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard at his first NFL stop in Buffalo in 2005.

With potential first-round defensive linemen Christian Wilkins and Clelin Ferrell returning to school, Clemson is the clear winner of the early entry period. How did other contenders fare?
